It's rare when an NHL player scores a career-high five points in the same game he reaches the 100-goal milestone. It's odd when such a performance doesn't attract a swarm of reporters immediately after the game.
But there sat Kings left wing Alexander Frolov, unlacing his skates after scoring two goals Tuesday night in a 9-2 victory over visiting Chicago. A few lockers away, the media had formed a three-deep semicircle around Ladislav Nagy, who also totaled five points but one-upped his linemate by scoring a hat trick.
That seemed perfectly OK to Frolov, a soft-spoken Russian who was the Kings' first-round draft pick in 2000 and the 20th selection overall. He was more interested in reflecting on the team's resurgence, anyway. After losing eight games in a row, Los Angeles has won three in a row.
"I think there are some really good, talented guys on our team, they just need to get more confident," he said.
"Don't make any stupid mistakes and work hard as a team and things will come."
